Very true. Very clear. Very precise. The one thing that forever causes me disdain is the unwillingness of Jews and Israel to promulgate this FACT. Instead we are buried in 'facts on the ground' and the introduction by the French of the word 'occupied'. Nobody has any legal right to Israel except israel and yet, in 1967 when Israel POSSESSED the whole, they gave it away to the Arabs and now want the World to ;go and fetch' Eretz Ysrael for them. It makes me sad. And as a result, many many millions will die, even far from Israeli soil.
